Meghan Markle 'desperate' to stay relevant like Donald Trump
Meghan Markle appears more focused on maintaining attention than offering anything meaningful
Meghan Markle has been accused of being “desperate to make the world obsessed with her,” with critics comparing her media strategy to that of Donald Trump.
The claims come after the release of the second episode of her new podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, which launched last week and reached 19th place on Spotify’s charts.
Despite its early success, some commentators argue the show lacks depth. Royal commentator Mark Borkowski told The Sun that Meghan appears more focused on maintaining attention than offering anything meaningful.
“One could argue that's a major success because it keeps her in the public gaze and keeps the global media obsessed about her story,” he said.
Comparing the Duchess of Sussex to the US president, Borkowski added: “Whether it's the President of the United States or Meghan Markle, it is all about noise now.”
He continued: “What are the cut-through messages? I don't think we've seen that with Meghan. Everything seems to be the next thing thrown against the wall hoping it will stick.”
Speaking about the nature of modern fame, Borkowski suggested that Meghan’s current approach lacks staying power.
“Any large personality can generate a huge Instagram following. But how do you stop being boring? What did Trump say?
"Everybody needs a little crazy. The problem is about staying, not just staying at the top but remaining famous, and dealing with that fame in a highly cruel and critical world.”
What is Meghan Markle's podcast about?
Confessions of a Female Founder, produced by Lemonada Media, is marketed as a behind-the-scenes look into the world of female entrepreneurship.
It promises candid conversations with women who turned small ideas into major ventures — along with “fly-on-the-wall” storytelling meant to empower and inspire.
While the show has drawn praise from some for its focus on women in business, others argue its execution doesn’t live up to its intent.
